Fierté Canada Pride

Fierté Canada Pride is a Canadian organization which represents and is composed of organisers of local LGBT pride festivals in Canada, as well as serving as the Canadian chapter (Region 7) of InterPride. Many, but not all, pride festivals in Canada are members of the organization.

FCP's mission is to strengthen Pride organisations and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities through elevating equity-deserving peoples, practicing reconciliation in action, collaborating intentionally, building capacity, and advocating for systemic change.

Organization structure
Fierté Canada Pride is a registered federal not-for-profit organisation that is led by a board of directors and an executive director. The board is composed of a president, vice president of governance, a vice president of membership, a vice president of human resources, a secretary, a treasurer, a communications director, and directors at large in various parts of Canada. FCP has created four Leadership Councils representing Two Spirit, Women, People of Colour, trans, non-binary and gender-diverse individuals. Councils are independent groups of individuals who are interested in providing feedback to FCP about meaningful inclusion of marginalized communities

History
At its annual general meeting (AGM) in 2015, the organization formally launched Canada Pride/Fierté Canada, a program modelled on WorldPride which will see a different Canadian city host a national Canada Pride festival every two years. The first Canada Pride was held in Montreal, Quebec in 2017, in conjunction with the city's regular Fierté Montréal.

At the 2017 AGM, Pride Winnipeg was selected to host the second edition of Canada Pride/Fierté Canada which was to take place May 22–31, 2020. It was later delayed to 2022 due to the COVID pandemic. At the AGM, delegates also voted in favour of Calgary Pride hosting the 2018 conference and general meeting.
